Experience Overview:

Private Half-day Tour Of Hampton Court

Explore this remarkable and unique double palace, where the ages overlap and the course of history changed forever, where Wolsey, the 'Second King' of England reined, only to watch all power slip away. Climb the steps to wonder at the greatest medieval hall in England. Stand in Henry’s 'Great Watching Chamber' where nobles vied for the Kings attention and his wife was declared an adulterer. Walk the halls through which, some say, her ghost still runs, crying out for the forgiveness & mercy that was never to come.
Step through a time portal at the end of the Haunted Gallery into the Baroque Palace, William lll's and the Glorious Revolution’s answer to Versailles and the guillotine.
Explore the gardens and the maze, the most famous in the land. See the first tennis court in England, much beloved sport of Henry 8th before a leisurely drive back to your hotel.

I love discussing England past & present with my guests while we journey to Hampton Court in my Mercedes. We can talk about the Palace itself, or any other aspect of our long history that may interest them, from the Norman Conquest to the Battle of Britain. As well as showing the treasures on view, I like to illustrate further aspects of the history of this ancient place by sharing materials I have prepared via my tablet, staying close to my visitors and talking them through the history personally.
